13 Hours
The amount of sleep I got last night! Yes, I woke up at 3:30 pm this afternoon. It’s been a long time since I’ve done this. So I’m baffled. I must be fatigued physically or mentally. And since I haven’t been doing much physically, it have to be mental fatigue.
I have a lot on my mind lately; personal stuff that I prefer not to go into here. Let’s just say that I have TONS of stuff going on in my mind that would mentally fatigue me.
I wonder why God gives me so much that I can’t seem to handle. But then I think of what my friend Pam wrote about and remember that God will give me strenght. Now if I would only listen to Him. I need to start listening to God more. Because I just can’t deal with all this stuff on my own.
Beth Moore talks about developing your own scripture card index file of all the scriptures you run across that help you. I found a two ring little binder at Wal*Mart, or you can use a slide photo album.
In times when I’m too overwhelmed to pray or study, but “need to breathe”, I depend on those cards. You can see some of my scriptures I read to breathe and trust on the “power” page tab on my blog if you want a place to start. Somehow, it helps to have them in my very own handwriting with some words CAPPED or other words hightlighted,and dated. Over time, this has become my sanity.
I hope the idea helps. Sorry you are struggling. I prayed for you today.
